I am interested in this profession like everyone on this board. I have definitely had some trouble finding decent sites that provide good content without trying to market something, but you really can't avoid it. I especially found it difficult to fi...

Thanks!

I received my acceptance letter to the NGCSU nursing program for Fall 2007 on March the 13th. I was surprised to get it so early considering that NGCSU said that they would not be mailing out our letters until the first week of April. Did anyone else...

I am going to attend the NGCSU nursing program starting this August. I received a letter from Northeast Georgia Health Systems offering me a yearly scholarship from $2,500 to $4,500, but if I accept I will have a service obligation to them for one y...

Sure we can stay in touch. Just send me a PM at any time :) I am not sure yet, but I think that I may go into critical care b/c I enjoy fast paced environments.

I would suggest taking and completing as many pre-reqs as possible and work hard to get all A's prior to applying. I complete all pre-reqs before appyling. Also, if you finish your pre-reqs prior to nursing school, you don't have to take them while...

Thanks for all of your help everyone. Regarding your question shameka, I have a previous bachelors degree going in, and I transferred all of my credits with a 4.0 GPA in my pre-req sciences. I believe I got a 92 cumm. on the TEAS. You don't take th...

FYI: I found out today that they are sending out our nursing packets at the beginning of next week.

HIPAA deals with medical privacy & patient civil rights. http://www.hhs.gov/ocr/hipaa/

I contacted NGCSU and they said that they cannot disclose any information on when they are going to send out our nursing packets. Let me know if you get yours anytime soon. :)

I shadowed a nurse and a PT at Fort Mcpherson. You can pretty much call any hospital and I am sure they would allow you to shadow a nurse. You will probably have to get HIPAA training prior to shadowing - I had to.

livextoxlove77, Any ideas when we are supposed to receive our nursing packets?

I got into GPC two times, one time for Fall 2006, which I had to ask for deferment, and the other for January, which I turned down. GPC has not sent out their acceptance letters for Fall 2007 yet. It was for the Clarkston campus. That is the only c...

Ha ha, good point. Are you going to the Gainesville location?

Congrats!! You got your letter within the time that they said they would mail them out. I wonder why I got my letter on March 13th???

Considering NGCSU's great reputation and the fact that it has been ranked one of the top colleges in U.S. News several times, you may want to consider sticking with NGCSU. :)

Thanks! I got into GPC as well, but I turned it down. Everyone I talk to says to avoid GPC like the bubonic plague. Even my friend who is about to graduate (and has all B's so far in his classes with no previous fails) told me not to go. I had an...

You don't need experience to get into nursing school. With a good science GPA and NET/TEAS/NLN score you can get in with little or no experience. If you still want experience beforehand, I would go the LPN route (Gwinnett Tech). It only takes a ye...

It would be significantly cheaper for you to become a CNA at Georgia Perimeter College. Here is the link for you: http://www.gpc.edu/ce/catalog/courses.php?c=280 It's a 6 week course I believe. Keep in mind that CNAs are paid next to nothing.

First of all, you need to go to your local police station and pull a criminal background check to see if you in fact have a clear record. If you do, that means the conviction was successfully expunged. You may even want to go so far as to go to you...
